Carter Strickland

Carter Strickland was a 24-year-old from Baltimore whose life mattered to family, friends, and neighbors. Public records show he died on January 11, 2020; beyond that date and his age, the available public notices are limited. Local news reporting from the time confirms he was found injured on the 1800 block of Bloomingdale Road and transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he was later pronounced dead. Those basic facts do not capture the person he was — the relationships, daily routines, hopes, and small kindnesses that do not always appear in public records.

Because there is no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice located in the public record that matches his name and the exact date of death, many personal details remain private. What is verifiable is that Carter was a young Black man whose death was recorded by city authorities in early 2020; lists of Baltimore City homicides from that year include his name and the location where he was found. This remembrance honors him as a real person who belonged to families and communities that grieve him, even when public documentation is sparse.

If family or close friends wish to share memories, photos, or corrections to ensure a fuller, family-approved memorial, those contributions would help paint a more complete picture of Carter’s life — the everyday things that made him unique and loved — and restore the focus to the life he lived rather than the circumstances of his death.
